Green Bay Packers OT Bryan Bulaga might get a chance to win the starting left tackle job if OT Chad Clifton is not brought back in 2012. "I really don't know what they're thinking about for down the road," Bulaga said. "Right now, I'm a right tackle and I'm just trying to become as good as I can be there." Bulaga was drafted as Clifton's likely successor, but he has been primarily on the right side since former OT Mark Tauscher went down early in 2010.

Green Bay Packers OT Mark Tauscher said he is not sure if he will play this season and likely will make a decision once the lockout is over. He said the only thing he is concerned about is rehabbing the shoulder he injured last season.

Updating previous reports, Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers OT Mark Tauscher's two-year deal is worth as much as $8.7 million. He will receive a $1.8 million roster bonus and a $1.4 million base salary in 2010. He will receive a $4.1 million base salary in 2011. Tauscher can earn a $200,000 workout bonus and $500,000 per-game roster bonuses in each of the two years.

Rob Demovsky, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers OT Mark Tauscher (knee) believes he escaped the team's Week 9 game without a major knee injury. Tauscher was forced to leave early when his left knee got rolled up. Tauscher said, "There was a little concern, but from talking to the doc right now, I don't think it's anything serious. We'll probably get it looked at again tomorrow, but I think I got lucky. I don't think it's anything major."
